Confirmed from Amberley Green's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park with a community garden, walking paths, and open areas where dogs are allowed off-leash.
What runners say about Amberley Green
“Overall, my experience at this park was genuinely pleasant, with its combination of picturesque views and an engaging trail.”
“While the path rarely offered the comfort of shade, it did provide hikers with an engaging hike that typically takes about 30 minutes to complete.”
“Lots of open fields for dogs who love to fetch.”
We walk our Labrador almost every day. It’s a great venue and very dog friendly. The leash policy is based on common sense and the reasonable man concept. I rarely have my dog on leash. Martha stays by my side, when she’s not chasing a ball.
Hidden gem! There is an unbelievable amount of beautiful acres and views here. Pack a picnic as this is a great place for one with lots of shade trees. The old golf course paths provide some good trails. There is an old abandoned building too.
The Amberley Green is the former Cresthills Country Club. The property is now owned by the Village and is open for public use. Lots of great walking trails (old cart paths) in a very wild feeling location. Be aware many visitors bring their dogs.
